i believe meth will prevent homosexuals from contracting it

let’s make sure they’re all on meth

I don’t know, my brother died of AIDS and for a while he was on marinol (I think it’s called) that gov’t approved synthetic marijuanna. He hated it (had a very bad “trip” on it once) and it did him no good. I told him I’d get him real pot, but his view was he’d never been a smoker and why start now. I’m pretty sure he was doomed no matter what, but you always regret you didn’t try something.

You can’t have sex when you’ve got the munchies? Who knew?!

Another thing I’ve observed...people are always referencing dead head kids and adults living in their parents basement stoned all day.

First pot is not cheap, people who smoke pot normally only smoke on occasion, from what I heard 1oz of pot costs around a hundred dollars, 12oz of beer cost around a dollar, those dead head kids are drinking more beer than smoking pot, if they are laying around the house being dead head, it’s their parents fault!!!

Second people are saying there are all kinds of problems in Colorado and Washington, in reality the problems are minor, when measured against the problems after prohibition, people everywhere went crazy on alcohol, more problems than you could shake a stick at, right from the get go and it continues.

Third I do not see pot getting much cheaper than now, taxation will insure that, ok some would say, folks will start growing their own, it’s already being done, like so many folks brew their own beer, personally I looked into it and brewing your own can be a lot of work and sometimes cost more than buying it.

Fourth you can get much more from a cannabis plant than a high, many things can be made from the plant, even a product much better than plastic and much safer...(As well as using hemp fuel for his Model T, Henry Ford used hemp plastics to build the body work).

Gov’t control killed an entire industry in the U.S. and around the world based on myth...What A Waste of a most versatile natural resource.

from what I heard 1oz of pot costs around a hundred dollars,

When did you hear that, mid 60s?

[Cyman]

Could you direct me to the article you excerpted? Thanks.

"When did you hear that, mid 60s?"

Well...that would be around the last time I tried it, but as I remember then it was about 10 to 15 dollars an oz...the price currently of a hundred dollars I heard on TV or read it somewhere.

I guess counting inflation the price maybe about the same then as now, but I'm not sure, I never cared that much about smoking pot, to follow it, I just recently got very interested, when Colorado and Washington decriminalized it. What ever the price, I'm pretty sure it is much more than alcohol.

I am ignorant on how much pot costs today, could you inform me, I would like to know? Thanks

$45 to $75 per 1/8 oz in Colorado - from a friend who lives there.

That’s for the legal stuff, at those prices, I’m sure there’s a thriving black market.
